The Maton EA80C “Australian” is one of the most iconic models ever produced by Maton, and this 2001 example captures everything players love about these legendary instruments. Built with a solid AA-grade Sitka spruce top and Australian Blackwood back and sides, the EA80C delivers a rich, balanced tone with warm lows, clear mids, and sparkling highs. The combination of premium Australian timbers and Maton’s renowned craftsmanship results in a responsive, expressive guitar equally suited to fingerstyle, strumming, and stage performance. Equipped with the trusted AP5 pickup system, this guitar translates beautifully in live settings, making it a reliable choice for gigging musicians.

This 2001-built guitar is in great condition, with a perfect medium action and a fat, warm tone. It's in great condition, with light playwear overall and a couple of slighrtly deeper dings on the back of the guitar. A killer Aussie workhorse, ready for another 25 years of gigs! Includes original hardshell case.
